newt gingrich who was on morning joe friday. he said this about mr. romney. listen here. >> do you think that he has the ability? >> yes. having debated him 15 or 17 times, he's a pretty good debater. he's a better debater than any of our nominees. >> so perry, some analysts say mitt romney needs to connect on some sort of a hail mary in the debates to turn things around. is that putting too much pressure on him? >> he does have a lot of pressure on him. right now the numbers are showing he's behind about three or four points nationally. the other thing, gallup research showed last week that essentially twice in the last 50 years has a candidate basically been losing before the debates but then after the debates been winning. it's very hard to change the dynamic completely. as we've seen in 2008, the president may know debates are not his number one skill. he's pretty good at them. it's not clear he's going to make a bill gap to let romney win. >> thank you both. >>> let's go more from iowa. early voting is happening now. good day to you, jamie. what can you

if you googled baloney two hours after the debate, you would get oscar meyer and then newt gingrich. romney has the same opportunity, when it comes to obama's populous messages, i'm one of the common guys and you're out of touch. romney has an opportunity to say you have made $2 million in one year, you spent more money in your time in the white house than the royal family. how are you one of the common map you say you're a part of? i think preparation is important, knowing the material is important. but then being comfortable enough in your own skin and comfortable with the topic that you can come up with a pious baloney moment. those aren't planned, they aren't scripted, it just happens when it happens. >> but, professor schroeder, we've heard reports that the romney campaign has been preparing some so-called zingers that mitt romney's practiced and can use. i don't know why they would leak that kind of information, because it's like setting you up to fail if it doesn't work out. but how important are little lines like that, do you think? in the history of debates? >> i think they
